It is all an Ashley / Charnley thing, they gave jobs to people inexperienced or under qualified and left many key roles vacant or non existent. Then Staveley came in and made an active choice to give existing staff promotions and pay rises and whilst this was a good kind act it has made it difficult for us to build high quality back office teams.

We will definitely struggle with deadline day if we are busy then

The fact that he hasn’t done the simple thing which is hand in a transfer request means this isn’t about ambition it is about money for him and his agent.

Isak was actually quite poor in the match he did not get int on game first half, and just had 5 golden minutes in the second half

Given Griffin Woodgate Bramble Bernard Nobby Dyer Viana Robert Bellamy Shearer

Or Hai Quailow

Gosling at Bournemouth playing for Howe was quite good. Not a world beater but better than Perch.

Perhaps Howe is going to turn him into the next Dan Gosling

Exactly, without him our form drops and he is the second most difficult player to replace, when we do we will probably have to change our style of play

I always felt Bramble’s mistakes were linked to his terrible fitness. When he got a run of games he was really really good but then injured and then calamity prone. with Thiaw, Howe might think that a better fitness regime will lead to improved concentration

he is literally begging for another club to come in and gazump us

A whole year

No chance every year it is two different starting elevens but the same bench

I’m comfortable with him as cover for Sandro and Bruno, but not Joelinton

A Murphy is on the bench and Hernes isn’t which suggests to me that Botman and Hernes start tomorrow

Perhaps we are now paying Ryder with windows in order to spread misinformation

leave my son alone you aren’t his uncle

Who do you think I am?

There you go chaps removed the temptation from all of you

Please can we remove the NSFW pic from this thread - I get that its not real but someone not looking closely can easily mistake the image for porn and there are no NSfW tags in this thread

It will be Gordon up front then when as soon as a winger gets injured one of our academy wingers will be on the bench. but then if someone else gets injured will be Hall or Tino or Joelinton or Willock on the wing

you know what, there is still a scenario where Ekitike is part of a swap deal for Isak

Bring KK back klaxon
